生命有時遇見地震

生命有時遇見地震
思想系統彼此較力
權勢激流互相衝撞

根基版塊搖撼
轟隆震盪
撞擊成山巍峨猙獰

大地之心迸裂
深溝斷壁
無底深淵通向未知

大地未死
生命腳步慢慢移動
歲月修整山嶺
一點綠意醫治破碎
眾生齊力纏裹裂創

滑動的地土岩壁上
仍有祂的手扶持
祂擦去苦痛的淚
親吻破碎身心

震災的平安祈禱

平安！
在天搖地動時相擁的人當中，
平安！
在救援者不懈怠的勞動裏。
平安！
在艱苦生活時，卻依然無怨地撐住的人們心底。
平安！
在哀哭者不孤單，絕望者看見生機的時刻。

平安！
在祂創造與更新萬有的話語裏，
在祂被釘被扎的傷裏，
在祂勝過死亡的生命裏。

春節小猴與Julian of Norwich

And in this he showed me a little thing, the quantity of a hazel nut, lying in the palm of my hand, as it seemed. And it was as round as any ball. I looked upon it with the eye of my understanding, and thought, 'What may this be?'

And it was answered generally thus, 'It is all that is made.'

I marveled how it might last, for I thought it might suddenly have fallen to nothing for littleness. And I was answered in my understanding: It lasts and ever shall, for God loves it. And so have all things their beginning by the love of God.

In this little thing I saw three properties.

The first is that God made it.

The second that God loves it.

And the third, that God keeps it.

But what is this to me? Truly, the Creator, the Keeper, the Lover. For until I am substantially “oned” to him, I may never have full rest nor true bliss. That is to say, until I be so fastened to him that there is nothing that is made between my God and me.
